words, words, and more words

With NaNo fast approaching, I decided I might actually want to finish all of my backstory stories and do more plotting before November. I stopped off at the library the other day and wrote almsot 3000 words in my notebook because I didn't have my laptop. I had to jump ahead in the story because I couldn't remember where I was, but that's good because what I'm writing now could actually impact the novel. I've managed to write four of the last five days.

The power steering is finally fixed on the truck, so I went to Shari's to get some writing done. Sat there for around three hours and wrote 3000 words. When I got home, I tried to add more, but I was blanking. I was going through notes for other story ideas and randomly picked one to write on. That added another 1100 words to my daily total (and could possibly be the first SG-1 fic I've written in like a year).

Over 4000 words today. Not bad.

Only problem is my arm is really acting up. Keeping it in a typing position causes it to go completely numb every few seconds. I had a bitch of a time shopping today because moving clothes on the racks would make my arm go numb and then I'd lose control of my hand. Driving was okay, though, for some reason--and I always drive with that hand resting on top of the wheel. Weird.
